Bandai HGUC 1/144 RX-78GP02A Gundam GP02A Physalis

Description

Build one of the most imposing mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory with the Bandai HGUC 1/144 RX-78GP02A Gundam GP02A Physalis model kit.

The GP02A stands apart from more traditional Gundam designs with its heavily armoured proportions, powerful silhouette and enormous equipment. Its oversized shield and distinctive Atomic Bazooka give the completed Gunpla an unmistakable presence, while the large shoulder binders help capture the dramatic appearance of the mobile suit seen in the series.

What Grade Is This Gunpla?

This is a High Grade Universal Century, or HGUC, model kit produced at 1/144 scale.

The HGUC range recreates mobile suits from Gundam’s Universal Century timeline in a compact and collectable format. This makes the Gundam GP02A a good choice for builders who want a recognisable display model without the larger size and more involved construction of a Master Grade kit.

The build brings together the GP02A’s bulky armour, broad shoulders and unusually large equipment. Its distinctive proportions make the assembly experience feel different from a more conventional Gundam design and give the finished model considerable shelf presence.
